Mobile camera rig specialists Motion Impossible, whose equipment was recently used in the hit BBC One series Big Cats, are to move to bigger premises after successfully developing their next generation robotic dolly system.

A T-shirt print capable of warning its wearer when dangerous chemicals are in the air, and pharmaceutical packaging with ink signifying when pills are counterfeit are just two ideas likely to emerge from a new research project involving the University of the West of England (UWE Bristol) and a leading scientist and print industry expert.

Autonomous Vehicles (AVs) driving on our roads will need to operate more cautiously than the average driver in order to foster public trust in the technology. This is the main finding from the second in a series of three trials carried out as part of the VENTURER project, one of the first Connected and Autonomous Vehicle projects to have launched in the UK.

Rusty Squid, a spin out company featuring experimental robotic engineering and design that started at the Bristol Robotics Laboratory at the University of the West of England (UWE Bristol), has a premiere Channel 4 screening of a film called 'How to build a robot' at the Watershed Cinema on Monday 27 November at 13:00.

Reach Robotics, the creators of augmented reality gaming robots 'Mekamon', is moving out from its home at Future Space after a long and fruitful relationship with the University of the West of England (UWE Bristol).

Silas Adenkule, a University of the West of England (UWE Bristol) robotics graduate who set up Reach Robotics in 2013 with his business partner and co-founder Chris Beck, is celebrating another success.

Researchers have published a paper that demonstrations the first laboratory experiment to use liquid marbles to create collision-based computation in research funded by the Research Councils UK RCUK. (EPSRC funded project EP/P016677/1)

The paper entitled 'Liquid Marble Interaction Gate for Collision-Based Computing' is published by Elsevier in Materials Today. The research is led by Professor Andy Adamatzky and Dr Ben De Lacy Costello.

VENTURER is the first Connected and Autonomous Vehicle project to start in the UK. The results of VENTURER preliminary trials show that the handover process is a safety critical issue in the development of AutonomousVehicles (AVs).

A researcher at the University of the West of England (UWE Bristol) is developing a bio-inspired 'smart' knee joint for prosthetic lower limbs.

Dr Appolinaire Etoundi, based at Bristol Robotics Laboratory, is leading the research and will analyse the functions, features and mechanisms of the human knee in order to translate this information into a new bio-inspired procedure for designing prosthetics.

“Ready to hit the ground sprinting” is the verdict of Founder, Matthew Pullinger on the career prospects of the UWE Bristol final year students who developed the interface for Oodles, a new innovative platform for making micro-donations to charity.
